Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Does this include tax filing? Please include tax filing...
It does not. Good for everyone else, but we seriously need to flip how we do taxes here.
Click bait article titles? I get it. Click bait lemmy post titles? Sorry but downvote.
Also my first thought was also the hope of removing tax filing. Oh well.
I also appreciate when they put the article text in the Lemmy post so I don't have to go to any news sites.
Isn't this title just the title from the article?
Now I definitely feel like OP should have cleaned up the title before posting, but Reddit requires that users keep the source title, right?
What would be cool is adopting the system they use in the Faroe Islands - it's an incredibly efficient system. Neither individuals nor corporations handle taxes, instead corporations pay into a publicly owned automatic tax withholding system that does the taxes for you both and then forwards your income post-taxes into your bank account.

that second paragraph in the quote shouldnt be missed. such as system would bring powerful early indicators to help guide public policy at fine resolution and minimal lag
Then we’d be all ready for our AI/alien/alien AI overlords.
Absolutely this. For most individual filers, the government already knows what you owe and what, if anything, your refund should be. For these people, filing taxes should be no more difficult than logging in to an IRS portal, affirming no changes to the already prepared forms, and logging out. But Intuit and other companies spend a shitload of money to make sure this doesn’t happen.
Nooo but Intuit bribed congress. Guiiis dey paid da bwibe we gotta hona it.
